‘A community, not a facility’: Implementing change in a care environment

Resource Description

Care is now ‘a lot more focused on the resident as the priority, rather than the task’.

In 2013, Catholic Homes Inc began it’s ‘Care with Purpose’ approach to better support people in aged care.

This ability-based model of care, encourages care staff to get to know the person, identify their skills and interests, and use this knowledge, to re-engage them in meaningful job roles and activities.

Join Elizabeth Oliver, Senior Occupational Therapist at Catholic Homes, as she discusses the results of a two year study conducted at Fleming House, a residential care facility for people living with dementia, to evaluate the impact of this care innovation.
